How did the second quarter of the challenge go for you?
For the Chilling Level, I read one book for the word "Dark" in the cover. That was Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz. I'm planning to knock several out during Quarter Three. My planned reads below...
Animal Kingdom by Iain Rob Wright for Nature Gone Wild
Diavola by Jennifer Marie Thorne for Gothic novel
I Found Puppets Living in my Apartment Walls by Ben Farthing for Creepy Object
Lone Women or Don't Fear the Reaper for BIPOC author
Fun reminder...Something Wicked Fall starts in just two months!! Trying to decide on a read-along selection. Maybe Stephen King.... Stay tuned.
I hope you're enjoying your horrific reading! Share your progress in the comments (update, links to posts/reviews, etc.)...

Seems to me you're doing well. I really liked Certain Dark Things. Moreno-Garcia is one of my favorites. I recommend The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, if you haven't read it already.
DeleteNo, I haven't, though I have the book. Will definitely get to it, though.
DeleteStill only 2 categories down:Winter theme, or winter on cover
ReplyDeleteDead of Winter by Darcy Coates
A book that is also a movie
The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay (Movie title-Knock at the Cabin)
But I've got a few chosen and holds coming in soon for others! Next check-in will be better! 😊
You got this! I still have not read The Cabin at the End of the World. I've heard good things about Darcy Coates.
